Fifth. -- I -- I keep asking me but when we get new employee teaches -- two years from. Self conscious program. Late Bloomington. This. When you're fired. But I just make a valid point welcome back benefits. -- -- aluminum. The suit up. Italy to -- My own -- did not. This is the. It it is all right. The Pentagon had to -- the unit that let you know well the. I love it. And we have a situation over at her command and is -- Tomasson. Yeah it's a homicide. -- -- -- -- Hi everybody I'm Peter Travers and this is popcorn where we tell you what is happening at the movies and there is -- happening right now called. The way way back a movie this summer that I actually liked in fact I'd like it plus and one of the reasons I like it plus. Is sitting right next year mr. Sam Rockwell. Welcome to you sir thank you yes thank you got it there's no reason to go on accent I've liked it you agree that -- -- it. It's a whole what's it what an idea yet we took that should be. Now you need that's due due diligence OK before we go completely off everything. Okay because we tend to. It and I think it's -- -- more weird it gets the better it -- it really that you need to tell the -- out there who you play in the -- would -- And why you're managing this waterways place. And to set it up force and -- People will have their -- Okay. I am -- and I run the waterway is park along with -- rough news media she helps Meehan. Befriend a young kid named Duncan and we've become buddies and come ma. And it sounds all like and isn't that nice isn't that sweet and it is sweet the this week and then -- -- Steve -- didn't lead those -- cord injury -- appeal those people. The other side of the film and that gets kind of squirrelly -- There was an interview with -- and somebody wrote something get behind Sam Rockwell's as you always see anarchy. Where is it -- isolation I should hope so. Well I think I think I think any good actor has a little rebellion behind their eyes I would hope. I think there's more than we're deadly and I think it was like -- -- happen if you help something is going to happen well he. Yes probably troops over there but not life. In life it depends. Few shots -- the -- you never. We could try it -- contract on hold -- maybe later we'll do that yeah did you get along with William day who plays this -- it went to corrupt him complete. Well probably -- little bit of both yet. But he he's very well -- just that guy he actually wrestles and ice crazies that competes. And his father was Olympic wrestler and his parents are lovely -- grades like. He's a well adjusted nice kid you know. What did you did you give him any advice because this is beginning of his career did you sit -- and save this and -- I did I every night I I was careful not to crowd -- you know. You know with kids I always feel like these night she's a teenager but. -- feel like they should let them come to you -- and you know when a crowd of men con -- But I I wish I did say his mom you know -- ever wants that. Still be an actor after eighteen -- you know. Talk -- man I know great. Places train and you know he really wants to get serious. As he gets older but he's pretty serious right now he's pretty -- -- -- But -- you want to guide. You can't help but -- -- regard somebody like that'll. This divorce happens to him when he's teenager your parents divorced -- you -- like we live just five so what were you feeling. What you feel a lot of things I think it's very common now and -- thing. We feel a lot of pain and anger about it and and it takes years to kind of deal with that in and and so there's there's different things that. Happen you know you can you can you can -- -- You know some kids I shop lifted a little bit you know is it but. Hopefully you anything good or -- you just thinking just like popcorn and salami and like you know the airline coolers you know stuff like that that's it just keeps up but. But you'll hopefully you find something constructive. -- to channel that that energy and that emotion something like you know. -- Or whatever -- that what happened for wrestling I mean you that I remember you lived with your debt Kenya can't Francisco. That's right and then your mama's back in New York she was back in New York in the summertime is so I would. I would go there and do plays with -- -- and you know and that's how I got an act. Who educated -- we did you go to school who -- the people that are responsible for you this camera on scene today. Well I went to a lot of public schools all actually I moved a lot around a lot went to a school for -- -- Cisco but. My main training you know for acting was -- -- -- per studio. Analyst for taught me the miser technique and I met my acting coach. Terry -- barker still workers and today a minute there's a moment and Maggie Flanagan is wonderful teacher and so those were kind of my acting -- but that wasn't until it was like point three. You know but before that it was a lot of like public schools and you know we're you really. Rarely got into trouble except for stealing some -- Yet exactly but -- yes sure. -- -- -- We had that was it -- That they'll what was what was he must have done more than that well have and his party getting into your eyes I'm seeing at. At Yankee town well if you know sometimes a few things you can look at my record -- -- I could see that you want to throw this popcorn -- do you really see advice as it might not violence anarchy. In. I see something else and I want to know where it came from I've never asked you and you well hang out and saying. Now I'm I'm in like I've gone through a lot of their here I'm Allegiant ensure our work to myself. But he only -- sure of course you have to fear factor in how they did under what damage do it why would you give it -- -- to with there. No it's not giving away its understanding or. You know instruments -- -- Understanding you have to understand. About human behavior -- your own. Human behavior or -- -- -- clear yet exactly I didn't get when you appeal for ambulances there a lot of people didn't usher. Then did he ever discussed with him. He never to -- Never did to -- -- -- she -- about an hour that I've been I think what but. You're you are. They're getting into the movie industry learned about theater doing these plays when -- very yet when you get I remember seeing -- First in team needs the engine -- I think those all of that all those years that you -- -- -- this school Fort Knox has -- what you do. Appear as in some places if you look it -- it says that you are head fog yeah in that. -- to play the role of head. Yet how what you you could -- of -- teenage. Not well I was nineteen accounts went to North Carolina sure I was a kid for sure to him. But I had fun I didn't know what teenage mutant and do whatever side in the with the that was but I just you know played well again you know. Did my best again -- -- that work you know -- did my best pollute good impersonation. You know I watched all this you know Scorsese -- -- that when I was nineteen everybody wanted to be dinero that was the thing in that was everybody's doing an -- -- person nations in New York City all over the place and then Chris -- impersonation you know like. But -- was that that was the thing. Chris Walken was here recently he was and I tried to force and -- -- -- Chris Walken that impersonation he was armed. I hear he does the best interest -- -- person. Is really bad how does -- -- -- from. Equally bad you know say. -- -- -- That's shy hair in he's he's everybody does -- -- support this idea except for him and I told him to stop because it was just so pathetic. But the best he had is the best he is the best and he worked with him I don't mean -- -- -- onstage in the -- in Spokane. Martin McDonough right it's just like he did both of those things that you're talking to two people who don't on. I think that standard line. In their careers or line. -- -- -- -- takes all the punctuation scripts which is a good thing to do us you know it and -- -- wineries. Have your interest which you know. That's -- he has these amazing line delivers. And what do you do with your -- I do a little bit of that like -- -- like to pay attention to some of the punctuation but -- it -- for a way you know. The -- a little to -- record. Your. I lines and I didn't listen to them I do -- -- record the entire script stage directions but I record my lines monotone like a robot that's very important. So that you don't memorize an inflection you have gotten go to work with a lot. People that you mind.

Basically a crotch less -- -- -- -- a -- And I forget what the fourth one was clearly drunk yes. I think you -- yeah -- -- -- if they had you've been drunk. I would've been fine about it but I think he would just really sober and said this was what review required to doing so.
